Hey guys I discussed the potential problem of the ufo mouthpiece placement with Steven. It turns out that he had not made as many as I thought. It sounds like there are only 20 and adjustments are being made for the rest of the batch

also here is a honey bucket prototype that I keep forgetting to post. The swing is 2.5mm thick. He is only making 14mm and 18mm joint size, no 10mm

I just got word from steven that the matrix pillar will be ready by the 6th of april.

Thanks so much, @blankrider ! Looking forward to seeing the revised pieces.

 

[blankrider]

@hd_rider how do you feel about this?

 

[hd_rider]

MUCH BETTER, @blankrider !

I hope I am able to purchase the revised UFO rather than from the initial batch.

im going to my friends tonight i'll take a pick of his placement, his dosent have a brace and i used to clean it and shake it by the joint and its held up. it was even sloped back into the can so if you did stack that high it would drain out
But the out take has should still be higher or you'll have weird smoke build up and CE going into into my whip, he only moved it up maybe a 5/16 inch? moooooooore
it's better but not perfect yet >__>

Just a quick update:
FC-UFO will be for sale this next Monday. Because this piece is on the larger size and kind of heavy it is more expensive for Steven to ship. The price will be the same as FC-187,about $44.

FC-CAKE will be for sale around April 10th. The price will be $35-39

Bangers are coming next. They will be available in 14mm and 18mm and be at least 2.5mm thick, perhaps 3mm

@blankrider thanks for driving this crazy umbrella, best thread on the interweb imo

 

[alltoreup]

@blankrider do you know if he will be offering carb caps on those buckets? He'd be the only affordable seller carrying them on dhgate if he did.

 

[blankrider]

OFZ style caps will be included with both the honey buckets and MS mini style rig.

I told him that it would be best if the caps were cross compatible along with the quartz swings but I am currently unsure if he is going to be able to fulfill that request

 

[alltoreup]

Awesome!! Looking forward to both!

 

[DieHard]

I want the UFO, but with a downward facing 18mm male. For use with a Jhook.
I have a FC-187 that arrived cracked on the MP. I want to have the MP removed and replaced with an 18mm male.

For those interested in honey buckets/bangers/mothership mini rigs/enail coils, hymanquartz on dhgate is now offering epacket shipping. It is still around $20 (though a few of the items have 5 dollar shipping), but is pretty reasonable if you're ordering multiple items. Or if you just compare the prices to what hyman quartz stuff is typically sold for by people on instagram. 5 4mm thick bangers for $70 is a pretty good deal. Thinking I might make an order for a bunch of different stuff and see if they will combine the shipping charges before I pay.

Damn 5x 20mm hook bangers shipped for $50 and decent priced swivel-cap enail bangers... yay

Ya that is what caught my eye. Just wondering if the coil they sell is wired right for my Auber RDK200.

Also for anyone who wants a mini I guess they must have extra blue ones because one of the listings for them has free shipping: http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/blue-color-glass-mini-bubbler-with-quartz/231992047.html

I would be tempted to grab one if it were the clear or pink version.

Hey guys I am really psyched to post these pictures of Stevens prototype honey bucket and cap. They are looking to be the best quality cheap bucket to date. The quartz bucket sits flat when the swing is in the down position. The cap looks like it makes a really good seal on the top of the dome and there is a very nice fit around the swing.

The cap tube is going to be extended slightly to sit just below the slit in the quartz bucket. Besides that things look to be really good for optimal honey bucket function

Nice work in here guys. Pretty freaking cool to see this evolve from concepts to production. I have been patiently waiting for my vortex recycler to arrive and I find this thread and the concept for it.. Well done!

 

[blankrider]

Here is the completed FC-MINI along with carb cap. It should be able for sale in the next week or two.

 

[Cgu21]

@blankrider will steven be making the honey buckets in 14 and 18mm female? Super interested in these.

 

[PuffNStuff]

Found this water test, I know some people on this forum purchased this last week sometime. Forgive me if it's in the wrong dhgate thread

 

[xRUFUSx]

I wonder if steven would be down to hit an ecig (zero nic or w/e) through his pieces for water test vids so we can see them milk a bit. It might also help avoid some basic design flaws that are obvious once he sees how vapor behaves in the piece. (*cough* partially-functioning recyclers still in production)

That lil' bit of real "road test" would be very valuable and better porn for us. It may also spark his imagination, additional understanding, and concept ideas. IMHO there is much to be gained by these "real" tests, once the designer knows what "ideal" means, and then his design sensibility can be further developed.

I bet you $1 if he started doing this, he'd get all excited and start commissioning new designs with a new found enthusiasm. If he's making these now without seeing the magic of milking and vortexing vapor, and experiencing how all these design factors affect hit density and/or flavor, he's missing half the fun.

Thanks for sharing !

I think this was the best "original" designed pieces by the FC community yet! Took ideas from different pieces and collaborated to make a wonderful piece. Well done @blankrider and everyone else, this piece is worthy of the FC brand name bc of it's uniqueness!

No doubt, @SSVUN~YAH. I am STOKED for this release. I'm not one to be the first buyer on release dates, but the glass that has emerged of late has got me doing otherwise!
